The Boston Red Sox are expected to have Ceddanne Rafaela be the Opening Day center fielder so Red Sox fans will get to see him showcased in this game. This will also feature the Red Sox future up the middle with Kyle Teel, Marcelo Mayer, and Roman Anthony which Red Sox ownership has said when they make it to Fenway Park it will be a full go so this is the chance to see them up close, and personal. We’ll also get to see new Red Sox prospects who were acquired this offseason, Richard Fitts from the Yankees in the Alex Verdugo trade, and David Sandlin from the Kansas City Royals for John Schreiber.
